This escutcheon features a shield shape or central oval where the keyhole is located, surrounded by scrolls and organic forms. On both sides are two figures of rampant lions (in heraldry and furniture, the lion symbolizes strength, nobility, and protection of the furniture's contents). It is topped by a royal crown, giving it a stately and majestic air.

This escutcheon is in the Baroque / Neoclassical style, inspired specifically by the furniture of 18th-century European courts.

Similar designs were common in the Louis XV styles (due to the use of curves and symmetry) and Charles IV in Spain. "Empire style" furniture or furniture with heraldic influences often used these motifs to highlight the importance of the furniture owner.
